ABSTRACT
A comprehensive coverage of the catalytic asymmetric Michael additions of various 1,3-dicarbonyl nucleophiles to nitroalkenes reported to date is presented here. The detailed discussion of these diverse asymmetric reactions is based on different 1,3-dicarbonyls, broadly classified as 1,3-diketones, malonates, β-ketoesters, Meldrum’s acid and latent 1,3-dicarbonyls such as 2-hydroxynaphthoquinones and hydroxycoumarins.
